DR Power Grade Hydraulic Retrofit

   / DR Power Grade Hydraulic Retrofit #11  
I was amazed at how well it groomed the gravel turn around. Mine is just the 4' version. For giggles I used an hunk of electrical strut for some adjustablity in place of the actuator and gave it a go. It could be worth bracketing up something for the three point I suppose for ease of maneuvering. Right now I just have a standard blade.

The fittings arrived yesterday and I installed them this morning. It works! The rate of travel is MUCH faster than before - it almost jumps off the ground it moves so quickly. I suppose you could put some kind of flow control on it but I find its easy enough to push the lever down part way to slow down the flow of fluid to the cylinder. I'll try it on the road in the spring and let y'all know how it works.

Total cost was about $165. The electric actuator from DR (PN 38478) is $150 + about $20 S&H.
